Soldiers of Song

This is more than a documentary. Each story conveys the unbreakable Ukrainian spirit, resilience, and desire for peace.

This film also tells the story of musicians during a full-scale invasion, who demonstrate perseverance and also show the power of music during war.

Thank you to director Ryan Smith who conveyed so many painfully important stories and moments. There are countless stories like these in Ukraine during this time. Thank you for shining a spotlight on a a few so that the word could not only see the truth but hear the truth. Music is a power weapon indeed.

No one wants peace more than Ukraine, and hopefully through more documentaries like this one, our message will be heard around the world.

As I watched "Soldiers of Song", I found myself in tears throughout the entire film. This documentary touched my heart in ways I can't fully express. It beautifully captures the struggle and resilience of Ukrainians in the face of unimaginable loss. The musicians featured in the film use their art to bring hope to a nation torn apart by war, and their stories resonate with the pain we all share.

This documentary is a powerful testament to the strength of Ukrainian culture and the unifying force of music. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the devastating impact of war on our lives.

Deeply inspired by this film, that beautifully illustrates how creativity becomes both a weapon and a sanctuary during times of unimaginable adversity. At its core, Soldiers of the Song illustrates how music transcends borders, serving as a universal language of resilience and resistance.

This documentary stands as a testament to the courage of Ukrainian musicians who continue to sing, compose, and play, reminding the world that even in the face of war, creativity can rise and endure.

What stands out most in "Soldiers of the Song" is its celebration of the spirit of resilience. It doesn't shy away from the pain and destruction but instead highlights the determination of these musicians to keep creating, to keep singing, and to keep hope alive... such a great example that art has the power to heal, unite, and ignite a sense of purpose.

I watched this film in Kyiv alongside local Ukrainians and it was the most powerful, emotional, compelling bit of storytelling I have seen during the entire war. We did not have enough tissues to dry our tears. I live in Ukraine and there were many narratives even I had not heard before. The film gives many storylines that will make it worth your while to go see this movie. I know many of the people in the film and they all are incredibly proud to have their stories told in such a beautiful cinematic masterpiece.

If you want to know the real story of life in Ukraine following the full-scale invasion, watch this incredible film!

Soldiers of Song" left a deep impact on me. It's more than just a documentary-it's an emotional, beautifully told story of courage, unity, and the power of music. Watching these musicians turn their art into a force for hope and resistance was incredibly satisfying. What moved me most about "Soldiers of Song" is how powerfully it shows that music truly is a universal language. Even if you do not understand every lyric, you will feel every emotion-pain, hope, defiance, and unity. The way these musicians use their art to connect with people across borders and beliefs is nothing short of incredible. In the middle of conflict and chaos, their voices break through barriers and remind us that music speaks to the soul when words fall short.
